Hip Hop Education
Hip hop pedagogy is not just about teaching hip hop, it's about teaching through hip hop; using its principles, its practices, and its culture to engage and empower learners.
If hip hop was afforded the same level of analysis and exposure as other musics, it would rightly be legitimised as a high art form.
